Body & The Buildings
Early 1980s experimental industrial and noise project documented through influential cassette releases.
About
Body & The Buildings is an experimental music project that emerged from the underground industrial and noise scenes of the early 1980s. The project is documented through a sparse but significant discography spanning over a decade, beginning with their self-titled cassette "Same" in 1981. Their early work, including the eponymous "Body & The Buildings" released on the Heute label in 1982, established their presence within the experimental cassette culture that thrived during that era. The group's sound incorporates elements of industrial music, noise, and avant-garde composition, reflecting the aesthetic priorities of underground music communities in the post-punk period. Following a lengthy hiatus, Body & The Buildings returned with "New Brea, New Regrets" in 1993 on the Zidslick label, demonstrating the project's continued evolution and relevance within experimental music circles. The project's limited but influential output has secured their place within the broader history of cassette-based experimental and industrial music documentation.
